Not all yachts are created equal, especially when you’re heading into open ocean. Choosing the right yacht size shapes your entire experience: comfort, space, and what you can do onboard all depend on it. From day trips to overnight charters, here’s how to pick the right size for your Miami plans—without overpaying or sacrificing fun.
1. Know What You’re Getting Into with Ocean Cruising
Open ocean means deeper water, more waves, and stronger currents. It is different from chartering near the shore or on the bay. You’ll want a yacht that’s built to handle it.
What to look for:
Yachts over 60 feet are for better stability.
Strong hull design and plenty of deck space for relaxing and moving around.
The 92 Pershing is a powerful open ocean performer built for deeper waters, stronger currents, and longer-range cruising. The layout includes 4 guest cabins for up to 8 guests and a professional crew of 3. Maximum capacity is 13-day guests. Amenities include WiFi and floats.
Charter price starts at $7,000* for 4 hours.
2. Match Yacht Size to Trip Length
Longer trips need more room, comfort, and storage. The more time you plan to spend on the water, the more important size and layout become.
What to look for:
For 4 to 6-hour trips, a 65 to 95-foot yacht is a solid choice for shorter offshore adventures.
For full-day trips, choose a yacht 70 feet or longer for extra comfort and better stability in deeper waters.
The 94 Custom Line is a spacious option built for full-day ocean cruising, featuring 5 cabins for up to 10 guests, 5 bathrooms, and a crew of 5. It can host up to 13-day guests. It includes a jetski and floats for extra fun on the water.
Charter price starts at $5,800* for 4 hours.
3. Think About Comfort and Toys
The fun doesn’t stop with the yacht. For ocean trips, people often want toys, sunbathing space, and spots to relax.
What to look for:
Sun decks and comfortable lounge areas.
Water toys like jetskis, floats, a Seabob, a waterslide, and a tender add extra fun and flexibility to your ocean adventure.
The 88 Sirena is packed with comfort and entertainment, offering 5 cabins for up to 10 guests and a crew of 3. It can host up to 13-day guests and comes equipped with a jetski, seabob, and floats—perfect for a mix of laid-back lounging and water adventure.
Charter price starts at $9,000* for 4 hours.
